Here is a better pic of her wing. I soaked it in a saline solution and applied an antibiotic ointment. She eats and drinks just fine. I don't think she has bumblefoot because when I found her it was completely stuck in the crack of one of our nest boxes and felt frozen. I think it is superficial...

Last week we had very low temps around -20 and I found one of my chickens stuck in a nest box. She somehow managed to get her right foot stuck. It seemed to be frozen solid so I brought her inside. I noticed her wing must have gotten some frostbite as well. It looks like it is infected. The tip...

My broody hen hatched 7 chicks recently. They are about 9 weeks old. I originally thought there were 3 roos and 4 pullets because their combs and waddles came in a lot faster and are already a reddish color. Now I am not sure about 2 of the "pullets". 3 weeks ago there was a clear difference in...

We have about 20 hens and 2 roosters. Two weeks ago they started sneezing and wheezing. Then about a week ago their egg production pretty much stopped. I get about 2 eggs a day instead 18. Today I noticed one of the hens "yawning". I assumed they had IB but the yawning isn't a symptom of that...

Her space is around 2'x3' with plenty of head room. She has gotten up to poop before.

She hasn't pooped for 24 hours. Should I take her off the nest so she can relieve herself or just hope she does it right this time?

My broody hen pooped all over her eggs :( We were out of town for 3 days which is when this happened. We gently cleaned them off, cleaned up the bedding and put the eggs back under her. Today is day 10. Is there anything else we should do? This is our first time with a broody hen so we are...

This is the mom.

You can see his muffs in this pic

I was told 3 months

I was told it's an EE/Maran mix rooster. Thoughts?

He looks like a brahma without feathery feet to me.

This is her baby, the one we just got. We were told it's a rooster and the dad is a black copper Maran. Does that seem right?

We recently got a rooster that is an Ameraucana/Maran mix. Here is a picture of his mom. Is she a true Ameraucana? Thanks!

I'm back from my winter camping trip, and I just uploaded Episode 7 (day 10) Hope ya'll are enjoying watching them grow :)

Just an update along the way..... The chicks are all doing very well and they continue to put on weight. Yesterday they were up 16.5% from the day before and today they are up another 15.5%. Here is Episode 5 and a look at our brooder setup.

No, I think it's a bit of poop

here is episode three :)

No problem :) I wish I would have had an easy to follow day by day thing like this when I first started to see if things were normal, or how important certain things are......
